FUJIFILM 18mm f/1.4 XF Overview

Get Up Close and Wide Open
The XF 18mm f/1.4 R WR Lens continues FUJIFILM's tradition of compact, portable primes lenses for discerning photographers. This wide-angle lens is well-suited to documentary, travel, landscape, nature, architectural photography, and even astrophotography. Its fast f/1.4 maximum aperture balances size and speed and is suitable for working in available lighting conditions, offers greater control over depth of field, and provides a soft bokeh effect at wider apertures while also limiting the overall size and weight of the lens for everyday use.
Dynamic Wide-Angle Performance
This 18mm lens has the equivalent perspective of a 27mm lens for full-frame format cameras, offering superior wide-angle performance in tight or intimate shooting situations. It can help to capture both meticulously planned shots and spontaneous moments that fly by.
Weather Resistant
The lens body incorporates weather sealing to protect against dust and moisture, and to enable worry-free use in inclement conditions and freezing temperatures as low as 14°F.
Optical Design with ED and Aspherical Elements
The optical design contains 15 elements in 9 groups, including three aspherical elements and one ED element to limit distortion and spherical aberration for optimal sharpness and accurate rendering. The design produces beautifully sharp images from corner to corner with little-to-no distortion at the frame's edges.
Nine-Bladed Circular Diaphragm
The rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality, making it easy to have the main subject of the image stand out.
Fast, Precise Focus
The linear autofocus motor provides fast and responsive, near-silent AF down to a minimum object distance of just 7.9 inches in as little as 0.04 seconds. The internal focusing design also offers the option of smooth manual focusing control.
EBC Coating for Color Fidelity
All of the optical elements in the lens feature Super EBC coating to reduce lens flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color fidelity.

FUJIFILM 18mm f/1.4 XF Reviews

Very Sharp

I watched many reviews before purchasing and they all said "sharp lens" so I bought it. I'm very happy with the lens and its performance. AF is very fast on the XH2. Quick processing by BH

Blown away by how good this is

Picked up the 18mm f1.4 for my Fuji X-T5 and it is a killer combo. The optics of this lens are spectacular and the sharpness is mind blowing. AF is super fast and silent. Cannot think of any downsides at all.

Very decent prime lens

This lens, in combination with my X-T5 yields the sharpest photos I've seen to date. That includes images from full frame cameras I've owned. Pictures are beautifully rendered, clear and sharp. I couldn't be happier with this lens/camera combo. It's understandable that Fujifilm refers to this lens as one of the best they've ever designed. The square hood offered as an accessory is solid metal. Highly recommended.

Awesome lens and focal length!

I have had for years the XF16mm 1.4. Love it but at times it does distort. I have always love the 28mm FOV from my film (my #1 at the time) days and thought this would a great option for the XH2. This lens has amazing IQ and I LOVE the focal length! It really is becoming my go to walk around lens. The fats aperture is great for nice subject separation and it can focus very close too. Ergonomics are great (as is for most FXF lenses) with top notch build quality. It is not large nor heavy either. The FOV is different than the 16mm 1.4 and for most things, with people in particular, I prefer it. Where do I fit it in? I attended a friends wedding and took two primes, this XF18mm 1.4 and the XF50 1.0, that was it! covered pretty much all of my needs, including low light (no strobe was used so I did not interfere with the pro photographer). Overall a great addition to the XF lineup. And... Did I say the image quality is stunning! And that's the whole point.

Lens Hood

Apologies. The lens hood that comes with the 18 1.4 is indeed plastic. I was referring to the optional square hood which is metal.
